I really wanted to make this yummy recipe that I’ve been excited to share with you, but I feel like I’ve been run over by an eighteen wheeler that then decided to throw it in reverse and double the damage.  I don’t think I have strep like Abigail and Steve had earlier this week;  I’ve just got an annoying cough and my head feels like it’s been stuffed with cotton.  And, I could easily sleep for a couple of days.  So, instead of pictures and a recipe of delicious pumpkin curry soup, you get these pictures of my babies when I took them to tour the kitchen and decorate a cupcake at our favorite local cupcake shop, Oh! Snap. 

I saw on Facebook that Oh Snap! was hosting a cupcake decorating tour on Labor Day and I thought it would be a perfect thing for the girls to do on a predicted rainy day (it ended up being really, really rainy that day since we were in the midst of Tropical Storm Lee).   

First, the girls got to go back and see the kitchen where all the cupcake magic happens.  I was surprised at how small the kitchen was – it is definitely a feat of organizational magic to be able to produce all those cupcakes in such a tiny space!

Then, it was time for decorating!

Gracie is somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to cupcake decorating.

Abigail?  Well, she’s not such a minimalist. The picture on the left was about halfway through her process…the one on the right is her completed creation.

Then, of course, there was the joy of eating them.  They sampled the frosting before we left.

Then, they finished them off after we picked up lunch and met Daddy at work.

All in all, it was a great rainy-day adventure.  We enjoyed it so much, we actually took the girl scout troop for a tour and a decorating session last week.
